Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover — 1 oz Travel Size, Solid-to-Oil, Fragrance-Free

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a lightweight solid-to-oil cleanser that melts away face and eye makeup plus sunscreen in one gentle step.

This compact 1-ounce jar delivers Clinique’s fan-favorite balm formula in a travel-friendly size. The balm starts as a smooth solid and transforms into an oil-like texture on contact with skin, breaking down long-wear foundations, waterproof eye makeup, and stubborn sunscreens while rinsing clean. Its lightweight feel and safflower seed oil help dissolve makeup without leaving a heavy residue, and the formulation is allergy-tested, fragrance-free, and approved for sensitive eyes.

How does this balm remove long-wearing makeup and sunscreen?

The balm-to-oil conversion allows oil-soluble ingredients to surround and lift pigments and filters from skin. As it emulsifies with water, the product lifts away residue so you can rinse thoroughly without tugging at delicate skin.

• Solid balm melts instantly into a silky oil on contact with warmth.
• Safflower seed oil targets oil-soluble makeup and sunscreen particles.
• Emulsifies with water for clean rinsing and minimal residue.

Will this irritation-sensitive formula work for eyes and lashes?

Yes — the formula is ophthalmologist-tested and designed to be gentle around the eye area. It breaks down waterproof mascara and eyeliner while being formulated without fragrances that can irritate sensitive eyes.

• Ophthalmologist-tested and safe for sensitive eyes.
• Fragrance-free to reduce risk of irritation.
• Melts makeup without harsh rubbing or pulling at lashes.

How do I use the 1-ounce cleansing balm for best results?

Apply a small amount to dry skin and massage gently to transform the balm into an oil, focusing on areas with heavy makeup or sunscreen. Add a little water to emulsify, continue massaging, then rinse or remove with a soft cloth for a clean finish.

• Scoop a pea-sized amount for light makeup; use more for heavier coverage.
• Massage on dry skin until it becomes a smooth oil, then add water.
• Rinse thoroughly or wipe away with a damp muslin cloth to remove residue.

What skin types and routines is this balm best suited for?

The formulation is created to work across skin types—from dry to oily and sensitive—because it cleans without stripping. Use it as a first step in double-cleansing, or as a single-step remover when you want a quick, efficient way to take off makeup and sunscreen at day’s end.

• Suitable for all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.
• Use before a water-based cleanser for deeper cleansing (double cleanse).
• Travel-size 1 oz jar is convenient for trips and gym bags.

Who is this for: Anyone who wants a time-saving, effective remover for persistent makeup and sunscreen without harsh rubbing. It’s especially helpful for people who wear long-wearing foundation, hybrid sunscreens, or waterproof eye products, and for travelers who need a reliable mini cleanser that’s gentle on sensitive skin.
